Editorial Review: Product Description: SLIK designers carefully examined the trends in compact digital cameras and the needs of those owners then created a new tripod from the ground up. The SLIK SPRINT PRO has the features that are required of a full sized tripod, a maximum height of 64 inches reaches eye level yet the SPRINT PRO folds to an impressively compact 18.9 inches and weighs in at just 31.4 ounces (a fraction less than 2 pounds) for easy travel.The emphasis on the SPRINT PRO is ease of use. Any tripod should be easy to use, so that more time is spent concentrating on the subject and enjoying photography, than stressing about the equipment. This tripod makes setting up simple and secure with fast, easy to use SLIK speed release leg locks, gearless center column for quick height adjustments, and 3 position adjustable angle legs for easy set up on uneven ground or steps.The adjustable legs angles can also be used to lower the tripod. When used with the built-in short center column, (the included center column unscrews into two pieces) the camera is just 6.4 inches off the ground for extremely low angle or macro photography out in the field. Another way to get the camera low is to reverse the center column which could be used for macro photography or copy work.SLIK even designed a new head for the SPRINT series. This ball head features a precision milled aluminum ball for smooth reliable camera movements. This head can easily handle a camera up to 4.5 pounds in weight. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Lightweight, compact, and very versatileThis tripod is very lightweight and compact. I took it to Europe and put it inside my backpack when I was out sightseeing. It is easy to give the ball head a snug twist and lock it down very tight. But what I like most about this tripod is its versatility. The legs will lock into three different angles providing maximum height or maximum stability and minimum height as needed. Plus most of the center post can be unscrewed to get the camera low to the ground and the center post can be inverted ... Read More Rating:  - Not very sturdyThis tripod is not good for taking still shots of artwork. The legs are not very sturdy, and shake even from just pressing the buttons on my camera. Rating: - good little tripodI have an excellent Bogen tripod which I'd call "heavyweight,"---great for videos, overkill for my dSLR. This tripod is excellent: a combination of light weight, remarkable sturdiness (for its weight), and a usable ball head. The best feature is the ease-of-use of the lever-action leg extenders. It's set up in a way that a flip of all 3 (in the same motion) will allow you to shake down all leg extensions at once. I find that the ball head is capable of holding even with my medium-weight dSLR with ... Read More Rating:  - great travel tripodThis little tripod is surprisingly sturdy. It is just 18.5" long (folded) and 2 pounds (including head) and easily fits in my small backpack. The head locks down easily and securely with my Nikon D40 SLR with 18-200 lens. Unlike the Bogen travel tripod, the Slik head is removable if you want to use something else. There is no quick-release plate, allowing you to add any brand of quick-release (if you are using another brand on other tripods). The lowest leg sections are a little wobbly in the wind, ... Read More Rating: - Good for backpackingThis tripod is great for those long hikes or packback trips. Its light weight and extends to eye level or down to ground level. Not good in the vertical position, it couldn't support my Nikon D80 with 17-55mm 2.8 lens. Just stick to horizontal position. Can't beat the price. |
